Challenges of Research in Social Sciences and Humanities in the Age of Digital Studies

Translating the provided text into academic American English in the style of Harvard:
The lecture I delivered during the DNHD 2020 Master Class in Bordeaux was indeed a peculiar one. In February 2020, on the brink of a global pandemic crisis that would propel our world further into the 21st century, I found myself innocently improvising a discourse. Unbeknownst to me at the time, this discourse would serve as an expression of my stance for a revolution in social sciences and humanities research in France.
Amidst yet another university reform, destined to complete the destruction of social sciences and humanities research, and within the shadows of an internal revolution in my own research practice over the past four years, I aimed to give birth to my manifesto for open and free research. I later termed this concept the Z.A.R. - Autonomous Research Zones. Caught between a centralizing bureaucracy serving the ideological radicalization of neoliberalism and the depressive withdrawal of researchers crushed by technocratic machinery, I dreamt a dream. The emergence of a N.A.R., a Non-Agency of Research, to be precise. A rhizotopic gathering of liberated scholars eager to collaborate, driven by a singular impulse: the thirst for knowledge.
In this video, I discuss research in digital studies within a specific sociopolitical context. I underscore the issues related to bureaucratic centralization of research and the financial and entrepreneurial alignment of universities. I also address the status of research in humanities and social sciences in the era of digital corpora and the imperative to develop new technoscientific skills.
I delve into the ethos of the hacker and the ethos of the free, emphasizing the significance of a culture of sharing, collective production, and communalization of knowledge. I advocate the creation of open virtual platforms and laboratories, fostering collaboration and innovation.
I emphasize the necessity to reconsider research funding by favoring micro-financing and experimentation, rather than relying on large centralized projects. I also touch upon the question of data access, legal security, and the standardization of research objects.
In conclusion, I issue a call to reconsider research in digital studies within an open, collaborative, and hacker logic, grounded in the principles of innovation, shared resources, and a culture of mutual exchange.
